Desire Brought the Cougars
To Kansas
by Head Coach Guy Lewis
Notre Dame uses an armlock on Richard Apolskis, but Tim
Palmquist is there to recover.
When the season opened, I told the team that I thought we would receive an
invitation to the National Collegiate or National Invitation tournaments if we
could win at least 17 games.
The boys set their sights on this figure and I was very proud of the way that
they achieved their goal. They worked hard, hustled every minute of the game,
and never gave up.
They continued this effort in the Midwest Regional Tournament in Manhattan,
Kansas, and also at the playoff with Notre Dame, in Lubbock.
We played one of our best games of the season against Notre Dame to beat
the Irish in overtime and advance to Manhattan. We gave up four or five inches
per man and about 20 pounds per man, but nothing in desire, the intangible
factor in every athletic contest.
Our mental attitude had as much to do with our downfall at Manhattan as
anything. We had a poor workout after arriving at Manhattan and the boys
could not seem to shake the idea that they could not hit the basket. They wanted
to win as badly as ever, but they were worried needlessly about their shooting.
We were highly disappointed to close the season on a losing note against
Southern Methodist. However, the Mustangs played very well, probably one of
their best games of the season, to win at the free throw line after time had run
out.
One of the real highlights of this or any season was when the tremendous
crowd turned out at the airport when we returned from Lubbock. We'll be
trying our best to give the fans even more to cheer about next season.
Oklahoma State's Larry Hawk makes a fast break to get in and score in the NCAA
Midwest regional tournament game with the Cougars. Margenthaler (32) and Jones (42)
are both stymied by the fast moving Hawk.
